I finally started on the carbs. I cleaned out the spare parts box and found enough to make 14 carbs. I wanted to make extra in case I damaged one or more while drilling them out. In this case I will have some for a future build.
I posed 6 of the Strombergs with the scoop.
Lastly, I finished the toneau cover which is just a sheet of .040 styrene. Today I added the sewing pin "snaps" and then "lined" the cover with black velour Con-tac paper.
Next up is to finish the carbs.

I made some new slightly larger headers and flanges from plastic tube. Hose clamps are made from beer can aluminum. I added a screen to the inside of the hood scoop that will rest on top of the 6 Stromberg 97's.

Hi Sam. I keep a variety of hook-up wire in 22-24-26-28-30 gauge for most wiring . Amazon sells a little box of each gauge each with 5 or 6 colors and it comes in a handy dispensing box. About $12. But I'm always looking for usable wire. Old USB cables are a good source for very thin flexible stranded wire in various colors.
I hope you post pictures and progress of your build.
I mentioned in a earlier post that you might want to consider boxing the frame rails and maybe reinforce the cross-members on this model.
Thanks.
Steve
